Planning Ahead

Just in case you haven't noticed, I have not one but two tickers counting off the days to the 2010 MD S&W Festival. May can't get here soon enough. Each year I make something new to wear or carry. This year I already have my two Montavilla Market Bags I made to hold the ginormous amount of stash I intend to buy. Part of last year's stash is being turned into this year's shawl (I hope). I began spindling this Party in a Bag of merino on the way home last May with the tiny .45 oz Golding Sweetheart spindle I had just bought. I am gambling that I am going to get enough for a Swallowtail by February when the knitting should begin. Ambitious. You bet. Impossible. Maybe.
